It really ain't that risky considering it was clear as day not a foul.

But what do you expect from a league that is rigged.

Lol. That was a clear foul. He got him in the arms. Db challenge

Ball first baby. Everything else is nothing.

Nope. The ball wasn’t released yet. He hit his arm before the ball was released. Clear foul.

Lol. There is significant contact. Clear foul. Doesn’t matter. Kyrie made the follow up shot. They would still be up.

Ya no.

Crazy finish. I feel for OKC fans. That has got to hurt to end your season like that.

While looking at my phone on the plane is probably not a clear view.. But if they made that call the whistle came before the shot by kyrie..

Check the replay again.

The officials made it clear what the rule is.

PJ and Gafford are just a good fit.

They got bigger. Also with rookie lively being good for them.

True.

Dallas is who I want in the finals against the Cs.

The ball not being released is WHY it's not a foul. I don't know what the NBA is talking about.

If you get your hand on the ball then the contact after can not be a foul. Release or not.

Jump ball before it's a foul.

You'd be **** livid if you lost the finals on a play like that and you know it.

Yup they called the foul, but if the challenge was successful, they would still have counted the shot. Play didn’t stop after the shot.

That would be an automatic win for Boston because they can't win with Luka, right?

The NBA is a league of paying your dues.

OKC has not done that yet.

Dallas weak defense will be their doom against Boston.

Postgame show once again explained why that was a foul.

Looks like Daignault is 0-2 when starting Isaiah Joe.

You got it backwards. If the ball was released prior to hitting the arm, then it wouldn’t be a foul, since its all ball before release. Since the ball wasn’t released, he hit the arm before the shot. Even the announcers agreed it was a foul. Clear as day. Easy call to make actually.

It's not called this way and the fact that that play is a foul ny NBA rulebook is what's wrong with the league.

Accepting this as a foul is accepting a mediocre product.

You won't be happy when it cost you your title.
